Toy Story.

Isn't child development amazing? And more amazing is, as they grow up, they do get attached to cartoon characters.

I am a working mom but has been hands on with my 2-year old so I am there practically every step of the way.

It all started with the Buzz table and chair we bought. From that time on, my boy has been amazed with Buzz. We then got several Buzz items like a doll (from my sister), Buzz shirt, and Buzz bike. When we first introduced Toy Story, his amazement extended to the other characters... but he still adores Buzz above everyone else in the cartoon.

Since then, he has developed longer attention span and is now able to watch a full-length cartoon movie (he started with TV commercials, by the way)... and this convinced us to buy the DVDs (non-pirated!) of Toy Story.



He is hilarious while watching. He cheers when the title of the cartoon movie is flashed in the screen. He re-enacts the characters in the cartoons complete with action and dialogues. He looks sad when the characters are sad... even gets teary-eyed sometimes. And of course, he sings all the songs played in the movie. And these happen EVERYTIME he watches -- except when tired and sleepy when his activities are limited to re-enacting Buzz, Woody, Andy, etc.

And this is just Toy Story. He also has a Thomas and Friends, and a Mickey Mouse repertoire.

I don't know when he will get tired of the Toy Story movies... seems like this will go on for a few more months... maybe years (but hopefully not too many). One thing for sure is I will not get tired of watching him watch cartoons!
